... to be minute and that most of the changes occur on the fracture surface. To better characterize the impact of fracture roughness on fracture aperture growth, we take a coupled experimental-modeling approach. Two carbonate-rich Wolfcamp shale samples with calcite-filled fractures are cored. One sample is cut...

Based on calibration of the core data, it was shown that the open fractures have a larger aperture than the partially open fractures, which are half-filled inside the fracture. Both open fractures and partially open fractures can have a positive influence on the fluid flow...

Abstract Dilation of rock describes the increase in joint aperture during shear; which opens up additional space in the joint and can change its transmissivity, which in turn changes the overall permeability of the rock mass.
